Members of the Ciclovia Committee accepting their award

The New Brunswick Ciclovia Committee was honored by the New Jersey Department of Transportation for "Complete Streets Excellence" at a special luncheon on Tuesday September 24. New Brunswick Ciclovia is a community-based effort to open the streets of New Brunswick so residents and visitors can enjoy miles of open streets. Along the route, Ciclovia offers activities such as Zumba, basketball, skateboarding, sports zones, dancing and more to promote healthy lifestyles. The most recent event was held earlier in 2019. The awards were handed out at the Rutgers University Student Center on College Avenue. The committee is comprised of representatives from New Brunswick Tomorrow, New Brunswick City Center, the New Brunswick Board of Education, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, and The City of New Brunswick.
